<p>Yes. I was privileged to hear a talk on college admission issues by Jon Reider, former admission officer at Stanford and now a private high school college counselor, and he endorsed the idea that today SAT I scores are mostly used as a threshold requirement before other aspects of the application are looked at. “If you get above a decent, competitive level, you’re okay.” Beyond getting to a competitive level (I recommend getting to the 75th percentile cut-off for the college you most desire), SAT I scores are not particularly determinative of who gets into college.</p>
